In an interview he did recently (can't find it now), he claimed to be a free market capitalist in response to a question about universal basic income, and said he really doesn't like UBI and would only go that way in extreme circumstances. He showed some awareness and understanding of how markets and human motivation work. He may have been socialist in the past, but he doesn't appear to be socialist today.

As for his environmentalism, he may be wrong, but it's not batshit crazy to behave as if the survival of the human race is at stake when you actually believe it to be true. I find it refreshing for someone to act as if they actually believe their ideals, rather than just virtue signalling to be accepted into their clique of society and never doing anything postiive about the problems they only talk about. Whether he is wrong or not is difficult to judge - I think climate change isn't catastrophic, but a lot of smart people think it is, and I don't have enough knowledge to hold a firm opinion.

I'd rather have somebody like that who is (somewhat) wrong but intellectually honest and could be convinced otherwise, than the normal alternatives.

AI will make UBI an inevitability to stave off revolt and revolution from rampant poverty.

as will approaching a debt that we can't pay the interest on - resulting in either default or hyperinflation by monetizing the debt. this will usher in a new currency system (cbdc) to "solve" the problem.

cbdc and UBI will be married to each other. as will the total managerial control of society.

understanding how markets works really matters not. things like state management and markets are just tools of the managerial class to a model that is neither socialist (classless, workers own mean of production) nor capitalist. where we're going, is where we're going.
